Activities

From Bonjourquebec.com:

The joys of country livingTo enjoy the Eastern Townships to the fullest, get on your bike and head for the region’s 500 km (310 mi.) of cycle paths, 200 km (125 mi.) of which consist of the Montréal-Québec section of the Route verte (“green route”), a province-wide cycle network. Walkers, in turn, have no shortage of hiking trails to choose from. One of the longest and most spectacular is the Sentiers de l'Estrie, northeast of the Vermont border: 150 km (93 mi.) of stunning views. As for water sports enthusiasts, the joys of the region’s lakes—Saint-François (in the Parc national de Frontenac), Memphrémagog, Massawippi and Mégantic—need no introduction! Some 15 Relais santé spas offer up health and relaxation getaways in restful surroundings. Lastly, the Abbaye Saint-Benoît-du-Lac marvellously embodies the serenity that comes from living in harmony with nature, in a setting that attests to the happy marriage of water and mountain.

Charles, Alex and I hope to cycle at least for one day... join us!!
